Sad Waste

I was sent this article today about a mountain biker called Sam Brown. It is one of those stories that really makes me sad and angry. I will abbreviate it for you.
Basically it is about a guy who grew up with his family in the middle of no-where, living off the land. The spent a [...]

Free MTB movie

I love free stuff!
If your a mountain biker you are probably on Pinkbike.com often, if your not then you should be. For those who made the right right choice and regularly frequent the site you will be familiar with Aaron LaRocque and his amazing filing and editing skills.

Freight Train

Probably my favorite bike route at the moment is at Whistler, it starts up the top and goes down Freight Train, to Dirt Merchant and finishes on A-Line. Such a fun route!
This picture is the only one we have of either of us riding this year. It is Kirsty doing a step up jump on [...]

This is a story of one guy, one girl, one year and 8 bikes. This is our story, well I guess in reality it is my story because I can’t imagine this happening in Kirsty’s life if I wasn’t around. And it’s actually more like 1 1/2 years, but then it wouldn’t sound as dramatic.
The story [...]

And to wrap it up…

There are a few of my entries recently which have felt unfinished, so – this is an attempt to wrap up a bit of unfinished business.

In this entry I mentioned how annoying HP is for not having anyone local to fix my network card problem and expressed my frustration at [...]

Wow oh wow oh wow

I just took my new bike for its first ride, The Giant Reign X1 – it is everything I ever dreamed a bike could be and more!!
